My favourite thing about 4.1 is how grim the radio chatter is, between mission 50 - 80 you find out that the artillery of the edf was wiped out to a single man who now does all the artillery stuff himself

I love singleplayer mission 86 so much for this reason. Central Command talks about how another sector was completely decimated by Earth Eaters, leaving no survivors, and then mission control has an actual panic attack over the radio, live, for all her already demoralized troops to hear, in which she says between gasps, "...everyone is dying!!! I don't... I don't wanna die! I really don't wanna dieee..." Like man, it was a total Oscar-winning performance from whoever voiced that character. If 25 years from now I only remember one voice line from this B-movie cult-classic of a game, it will be that one... well, that and, "Progress faster than science is impossible..."

1:09:57 This is often how I approach games with adjustable difficulty, ever since I heard Halo's "Heroic" difficulty was the canon difficulty, I assume most games hardest or second hardest difficulties are canon as well. Personally I think "Hardest" is the canon difficulty, as "Inferno" is simply unfair most of the time, even with like 9999 armor you'd still get obliterated in a few hits, so realistically the Ravagers would win the war by mission 3. Inferno usually demands the player know things like spawn triggers ahead of time and almost always requires fiddling with your loadout to have the perfect one, where I find that "Hardest" difficulty can still be tackled in a single attempt most of the time if you're skilled enough, even if you get surprised by spawns. Hardest seems doable for the in universe EDF, Inferno seems like the challenge mode.

Can confirm on PS4/PS4P this game turned into a slideshow during the major events like the tiles filling the sky and then all shooting. It runs so much better on the PC. You do replay the same area... the 1st time you were there you retreated. The next time you go back you are testing a new weapon. Last time you are there you are crushing the enemy force. Or a major boss has entered the area and you return to deal with it. It was a hell of a way to recycle maps without making it feel repetitive.

Taking a melee weapon and a shield isn't really sacrificing much offense for mobility. The spears are mostly fantastic, my favourite is the blasthole spear as it does big damage and perices so it'd great for crowd control or big enemies like hectors. And the shield reflect pretty much makes basic enemies (and the spider kings) instantly kill themselves if timed right. Shield and spear has been the meta for over 5000 years, and it will continue to be the meta.

Ohara's lines make a lot more sense when you assume he's been hitting the bottle throughout the invasion and is just making things up as he goes along. "Sure, whatever, dragons are the giant insects' final form or some absolute bollocks like that. I don't give a crap. Now where did I put that last bottle of Suntory?" The giant insects are actually called "giant lifeforms" in the Japanese script, which also makes some of these lines a bit less silly, but I like my headcanon better.

Be glad you were able to at least partly enjoy the DLC. I was reliant on the multiplayer population, which, by several months after the game's launch, simply did not exist. The entire purchase was effectively a complete waste and I didn't even have the opportunity to discover how shallow it all was. By all accounts, at least one of the DLC packs for EDF6 is actually a continuation of the game's plot and progression... but it's not going to matter because the online PC population will once again be too sparse for me to be able to actually play the content.

I am going to guess that the tanks and helicopters are preferred over the mechs because they have greater mobility, which is honestly the best defense in this game after stun locking enemies. I personally have found that vehicles will die very quickly, especially to the spiders, so being able to rapidly reposition if the enemies get to close is very useful. This is the main reason I never call in the large vehicles in either 4.1 or 5. It has been a while since I played 4.1 as the air raider so I could be wrong.

One thing I will say is that I disagree completely with the weapon and armour limits in multiplayer however. To me it just kills the enjoyment of online as I work so hard for good weapons only to not be able to use them online and it makes those missions really tedious. I think players should have the option to turn on weapon limits rather than it being forced on you and having to beat most the game online just to remove it.
@Dorkaxe
Жыл бұрын
I feel the same, but the other way. When you're on anything higher than normal, certain weapons will be objectively shit, meaning you'll likely never use them. In EDF5, for example, when I finally switched over to my ranger, I had a hundred+ weapons I haven't used yet. If the weapon limits weren't in place, I would have no reason to try out the lesser variations on lower difficulties. Not that there's a big reason to do that in EDF5, however, since medals earned at higher difficulties grants the lesser difficulty medals, too.

So that you can see the "good" side of soldier's life, without all those stupid moral questions about why are you even doing it, and that you are given literal license to kill just because your goverment decided to profit from it happening in some way, that war suddenly flips certain specific crimes and not only makes them legal, but praises ppl for it, and then those ppl will return home and will expect others to respect them for being such a good murderers. But if it's aliens, well then, none of that aplies. just shoot robots and bugs and don't worry about it. Support your local military btw!
